Swift got to his paws quickly and rushed forward. As he grasped the EarthClan cat that had tackled him with thorn-sharp claws, he growled breathlessly to the newcomers, "Thanks. I owe you one." he drew back his lips in a snarl and sank his teeth deep into his enemy's neck.

Lightstorm, battered and bloodied but not seriously hurt, gave his opponent one last vicious belly rake before kicking the cat away and scrambling tohis paws. Panting, he threw himself back into the fray, bowling an EarthClan cat over and fastenting his teeth in the tom's ear.

"I wish you the best" Snowstar mewed pleasantly to his attacker, almost as if he was oblivious to the Novaclan raid. "I appologize for what ever pain you are feeling" He added as he felt a stream of blood work its way through his white pelt. "Aw...and I work so hard to keep my pelt clean" The tom mewed as he sat, looking about the scene to locate Wraith, Swift and his son. He saw Lightstorm and Swift, but Wraith couldnt be seen through the torrent of cats. Cloudhaze looked about, bewildered. She had made a mad dash into the bushes when the attack happened, and only stuck her head out when the yowls of the Novaclan leader reached her ears. She was releived to see that the three cats she traveled with were not seriously injured, but where was Wraith?

[The Kingpin]

as Wraith recovered he spotted the Novaclan raid, relief washing over him. Good thing they're on our side he thought with a cringe. he had been launched into the bush and out of sight of the fighters. It was a perfect opportunity. "Novaclan has our gratitude. We will not soon forget this" growled the tom as he emerged from the bush near the Novaclan Exarch, before turning to Afrostar, prepared for an attempted attack. "Your reaction disappointed me Afrostar...I had actually hoped we could get peace out of our meeting...or a non-combat aggreement at least. all you gave us was a war and attempted slaughter. learn from this. cease it here. For all our sakes" growled the black leader...

[TyrannoTitan]

Afrostar clenched his teeth, as if resisting the urge to launch himself at Shadowsoul. "Earthclan....RETREAT!" he yowled, the Earthclan leader and his deputy bounding away from the scene. Around them, the Earthclan warriors broke off from their attackers. The tom fighting Lightstorm kicked away his enemy before rolling to his paws, bounding after his brethren. A white paw pushed back Swift, one of the she-cat warriors shaking her head gently, the gesture allowing his target to escape. The Novaclan cats made no move to chase after their enemies; soon, all of the Earthclan cats disappeared in the undergrowth...

[Hopeflower]

Swift turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. "I made sure I missed the spine," he told the white NovaClan cat. "It was never my intention to kill; just to make sure he won't forget this battle in a hurry."

Lightstorm watched their enemies retreat, feeling his wounds throb and his fur splattered with the blood of the cats he'd fought. "This battle shouldn't have happened," he murmured.

[C S]

"Charming little cats, you Novaclan warriors are" Snowstar mewed as he raised a paw, licking it. He then ran it over the wound on his forehead, before lowering to lick the paw again. He then repeated the process, trying to clean out some of the blood before it dried and matted down his fur. He wouldnt return to clan looking like an unkept rogue

[The Kingpin]

Wraith sighed. "It seems the cats we once knew are no more...thank you, Alaitoc. You and all of Novaclan have our gratitude" growled the black Leader, as he looked around at the other Novaclan cats, as well as his own clanmates...

[TyrannoTitan]

"Earthclan is stubborn, but at least we don't have blood on our paws. Although this meeting has surely complicated things, our efforts to make peace are not completely destroyed. Not yet." Alaitoc explained, shifting back into a relaxed position. The she-cat warrior simply nodded to Swift, before rejoining her sisters, all of which were mostly devoid of injury. "And while our business with Earthclan is important, it is not the only thing we must contend with. Come, the farseer wishes to speak with you." the Exarch continued, glancing around at each of the Stormclan cats, some of which he did not recognize. Although he was naturally reluctant to bring them to Novaclan's home, they had proved their loyalty by standing with their clan leaders against such unfavorable odds. For that, he respected them...

[The Kingpin]

"Of course" growled Wraith. he glanced back at the others, gesturing for them to follow, before walking after Alaitoc towards the Novaclan camp...

[C S]

Snowstar simply nodded to Stormclan's allies, dawning his small smile once more as he walked over to Wraith's side. Cloudhaze followed. She heard that the farseer had the gift of seeing into the future. Perhaps her closeness with Starclan and the leader's gift could prove to be an interesting development in spiritual insight...

Fogcloud laid on his back, staring up at the changing sky, stomach filled. He let out a content pur as his tail twitched, enjoying the time to just laze around like this. With the leaders gone and the other warriors just starting to wake, this time alone to do nothing was just too good an opportunity. All he had to do was avoid Coldeyes, if the deputy was anything like he was when Fogcloud was a kit, well... he wouldnt take kindly to his inactivity...

[Hopeflower]

Swift fell into step at Lightstorm's shoulder, ignoring the throb of the cuts and bruises he'd gotten. The long-haired tom seemed fir the most part unhurt, which was good. The last thing they needed now was serious injuries. Though Cloudhaze was here, this farfrom home and with leaf-bare rapidly approaching, it could be deadly if illness set in as well.

[TyrannoTitan]

After walking for some time, the group soon found the familiar sight of the Novaclan camp's entrance: a simple crack in the immense cliffs. Even before they entered, one could feel the chill emanating from within. Although cold, it was somewhat soothing at the same time. The Novaclan cats moved inside without hesitation, Alaitoc at the front...

[C S]

Snowstar stepped into the wafting cool air that flowed out of the crack in the cliff face. As the group emerged into the chamber that was the Novaclan camp, he caught sight of the various cats tending to their duties, and the inlet that ran through the cave...

[The Kingpin]

Wraith entered after the Novaclan cats, eyes adjusting almost instantly to the darker surroundings as he entered. the tom's mind was working in overdrive, trying to figure out what it was that Alaitoc meant when he said 'it is not the only thing we must contend with'. aside from his previous guesses of Bloodclan havng returned and planning to attack again, nothing else came to mind...

[Hopeflower]

Swift allowed himself a brief scan of his surroundings. "it's quiet here. Peaceful," he commented. "must be a nice place to live."

[TyrannoTitan]

One of the she-cat warriors smiled at the comment, trotting away to join the others in the camp. Alaitoc continued on, leaping skillfully onto the small rock 'bridge' that connected the back of the chamber to the rest, leaping off onto the other side, moving toward the Farseer's chambers without hesitation...

[The Kingpin]

Wraith pursued the Exarch towards the Farseer's chamber, keeping pace with the tom, periodically checking the others to make sure they were keeping up...

[Hopeflower]

Swift kept to the back of the group while Lightstorm slipped past him to walk beside his father. The black tom kept looking around, taking everything in. Lightstorm was a little uneasy, looking around more erratically than Swift, adrenaline still pumping through him from the battle.

[C S]

Snowstar continued on wordlessly. He was eager to find out about this new threat that loomed ahead of him and the rest of his clan. He was even more eager to start dealing with the issue...

[TyrannoTitan]

Alaitoc moved through another small opening, leading into the Farseer's chambers. The light was brighter here, sunlight shining through the cracks far above, reflecting off the pool at the center. Near the pool spanned a tall rock structure, which eventually reached out over the pool. Seated atop this structure, as she did when the Stormclan cats first entered the chamber some days ago, was Ulthwé. The Novaclan leader looked down upon the pool, as if she saw more then just the shimmering water. "Shadowsoul...Snowstar...it is good to see you again." she meowed softly, though she did not turn around, ignoring the irony in such a statement. "You may join me, if you wish." she added, tail gesturing to a few rocky outcroppings where others could also observe the pool from above...
